Fairlop Waters


All children had a fun day today, learning new skills and techniques. Children were placed into three groups where they rotated around two boating experiences, bell boating and canoeing. Before entering the water, children participated in a warm up exercise, where they formed a circle and held their paddle in one hand. Their objective was to quickly take the place of the person standing next to them and grab the paddle before it fell to the ground. This caused a lot of laughter amongst everyone as it was much harder than it appeared.





It was now time to head for the water. Some children were a little scared as this was their first time, others were very excited and had no fear. Most managed to stay afloat, however Godwina and Jennifer were not so fortunate. Both girls thought it would be a good idea to race another boat, instead of winning they capsized. They were quickly rescued and taken ashore where a nice warm shower awaited them.











Here we go!
